Those two woman above had never met, and they're pretty sure they're not related, but they look exactly like each other.

The latest uncanny meet-up from doppelganger site Twin Strangers saw Ambra, 23, from Fayetteville, North Carolina, travel to Spring, Texas, to meet 33-year-old Jennifer.

The pair had read about site founder Niamh Geaney's experiences meeting her first, and later second clone, and wondered if they had a twin stranger out there somewhere.

"I wanted to see if I found another person that looked like me, would they act like me too?" Ambra said.

They each uploaded a photo and some information about their features to the site and quickly discovered they had a perfect match. The Twin Strangers team then offered to fly Ambra to meet Jennifer and they were blown away by their first encounter.

"When I finally met met her it was like, 'oh my goodness, there's another person, she really does have my face,'" Ambra said. "I was awestruck the moment I saw her face in person. I did not want to take my eyes off her.

"I was filled with this burning desire to get to know everything about her all at once."

Jennifer's mother Karen was stunned by the resemblance. "You're my daughter," she stammered when she met Ambra. "You look so much like my daughter. Your smiles are the same. How is this possible? You're not adopted? I want to see your family tree."
